and Now Lecture:
Joe Burns “Here’s Another Clue for You All: Uncovering the Beatles ‘Paul-Is-Dead’ Rumor” Is it possible that early one morning in 1966 Paul McCartney crashed his Austin Healy, maybe failing to notice that the traffic lights had changed? If so, and if he is “the Walrus,” who is singing Band on the Run? Join Southeastern’s popular expert on broadcasting and film history for a look at intriguing “Paul-is-Dead” clues and decide for yourself if it was all an elaborate hoax or, as John Lennon is heard to say, “Paul is dead now. Miss him. Miss him. Miss him.” Free Co-sponsored by the Department of Communication |

Borden Theatre
Southeastern Theatre Crimes of the Heart Beth Henley won the Pulitzer Prize for this irreverent, warm-hearted portrayal of three sisters struggling to make sense of their lives. There is responsible Lenny, who has sacrificed herself to care for their ailing grandfather; carefree Meg, who left behind her family and lover to pursue a (failed) singing career; and the newly rebellious Babe, who faces prison for shooting her abusive husband. The trio's reunion in their hometown of Hazlehurst, Miss., triggers a hilarious mix of conflicts, crises and revelations as the sisters learn to greet life’s twists of fate with courage, love and laughter.  $10,
general admission; $6 srs/fac/staff/alumni; Southeastern student free with
